It was quite the fashion last Sun

Sunday quarters at the big yard of
K. R. Hays. A number of rigs

could not have been better if it had
been mode to order, and the

all who came to sec them. There
nrc over 250 picker there and they
nrc the happiest lot of folks one

For some days the county has
had a force of carpenters at work
covering the bridge which spans
the Coast Fork north of town. The
work is now nearly completed and
the structure is quite iniKisiiig.
strong and durable. This work
has been put off longer than it
should have been, but there were
other bridges in the county that
stood in greater need of repairs and
they were attended to first. The
people in this section are thankful
for the repairs and are glad to say
''better laic than never. "
Making Mouk Hhick
C. II. Wallace & Son this week
have a dozen men making 50,000
more brick. They had 100.000
already made and piled for burning,
but have recently taken the con
tract for the erection of the new
building to go upon the corner of
Main and Fourth streets, which
will require 140,000 brick, and
therefore found it necessary to
make the added number. When
the kiln is fired there will be in the
pile 150,000 brick.
Pirn Hjcino Laid Down.
All the pipe for the new mains
lrom the reservoir beyond Gowdy

An Innocent Man Held Up on a
Dispatch From Coui.stock.
At noon on Tuesdnv
town was in n slate of excitement
because of a dispatch from the
agent at Comstock Hint a man had
passed throuiih tlmi town emitter
r"..'f
north who was supposed to be the
notorious murderer Lawless of
Coos county. He got here all
right and on time and then
on through town down the railroad
to rest and enjoy a lunch under
the trees. He was a tall man.
dressed in black, with a plug hat
and looked much like a preacher,
which he proved to be. He also
very much resembled the nictures
sent out of Lawless. After his
icsl lie resumed his journey north
on the railroad track carrying two
valUes. Marshal Nunii made a
detour on the county load and
headed him off at the home of Mr.
King, covered him with his gun
awl ordered his hands thrown up,
nearly scaring the poor man into
fits. The Marshal made a thorough
search of both the man and his
grijw, which contained nothing
but the ordinary things a traveler
would need, awl in his pockets but
seventy-five cents. Several letters
from his wife prove him to be John
Mentor from San Jose, Calif., n
roving preacher, with a commis
sion to preach the gospel of Christ
when, where and how his fancy
suited him. The marshal was
thoroughly satisfied that he had
held up an innocent man, he there
fore apologized and passed the
prenr-her on, but if it had proved to
have been the murderer the marshal
had an everlasting cinch and he
would now be behind (he bars.

The postoffice elepartment has
authorized the name of the Harris
postofiice to he changed to that of
HlHckhtittc spelled as one word
Hereafter parlies addressing mail
matter to that part of Lane county
should note the change and ad
dress Hlackbutte instead of Harris.
The change is said to be a com
mendable one, as for .some years
much of the mail matter intended
for Harris has been addressed to
Hlackbutte anyway, and then there
arc several other postoffices in the
state spelled so nearly like Harris
that much missending of mall mat
ter will be avoided.
